Before Spring break students began researching a human organ system to then teach the class via a power point presentation, diagram (provided) and prepared questions . They did a good job looking at their chosen system over break - not an assignment, but more to keep them thinking. This week we finalized the requirements and began the presentations.

Mon 20 Apr - Begin CH 15

Tues 21 Apr - Organ System Vocab TEST

Thurs 23 Apr -CH 15, introduce next assignment (Mammals) & prep for our field trip to Body Worlds!

Fri 24 Apr - Body Worlds Field Trip (11:30 - 3:15)


During the week of 27 Apr, students will work on a Mammal assignment & conclude CH 15.

Due date for Mammal Assignment will (likely) be Tues 5 May

Culminating activity/test for CH 15 & Mammals will (likely) be Fri 8 May
